Re: Digital Zuiko 14-35mm f/2.0 SWD image samples

Ian,

First post so hello and thakyou for the samples. They look very impressive and sharp across the field even wide open. I am seriously thinking of buying this lens for some social photography work, I have the 35-100, but this lens would work better in tighter situations.

Very impressive!

Yes, it should be great for that application. And although a big lens, it's a lot smaller and lighter than the 35-100

I have done some A3+ prints from of some of the images and they look even better printed. This is possibly the best E-series lens I've used yet.

Ian,
Thankyou for the feedback, I am very pleased with the quality of the 35-100, and if this optic is close in quality it sounds great. Will be looking to use it for three quarter length portraits wide-open.

The 35-100 is optically superb. A review of this lens is coming here soon. It can be used wide open

The 14-35 is in the same league, optically (as is the 90-250), but it also has the advantage of SWD.

Incidentally, the 12-60 lens hood was criticised for being a bit cheap. It is lightweight, but the plastic a strong type. Well, the 14-35's hood is also lightweight, but it is felt-lined (like the 35-100) and has a hatch so you can access and rotate a polarising filter if attached.
